This bill will require companies doing business with the state of California to have a “No Deforestation, No Peat, No Exploitation” (NDPE) Policy. REASON: Deforestation is one of the leading causes of climate-change and loss of biodiversity which is threatening the survival of orangutans, tigers, rhinos and elephants who are on the brink of extinction in Indonesia.

August 23, 2018, Los Angeles – Peace 4 Animals, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting wildlife, companion animals, and farm animals, as well as encouraging a plant-based lifestyle across the globe, has partnered with the nonprofit, The Sheep Heal Project, to rescue American Blackbelly Sheep and Boer Goats from a Southern California Farm that was sending them to slaughter.

“It was an emergency situation,” stated Fia Perera, co-founder of The Sheep Heal Project. “Fortunately, with the help of Peace 4 Animals, we were able to save them from the horrors that they would have been subjected to at the slaughterhouse.”

Peace 4 Animals & WAN’s New Billboards “put the CON in CONSERVATION”

After walking into the Safari Club International Convention in Las Vegas, the feeling of shock and anxiety was overwhelming. We didn’t know what to expect but had no idea the glorification of killing some of the most beautiful species on the planet would be this in-your-face.

As we looked around at the massive crowd of 20,000 plus attendees, we couldn’t help but wonder if we were on a different planet and what the method to the madness was? Some of what the world would consider the most endangered species on the planet that are listed as vulnerable species or on Appendix I of CITES, such as Snow Leopards, Elephants, Rhinos, and others like African Leopards, Polar Bears, Wolves, African Lions, and many other species that were killed and stuffed, others were said to be realistic replicas.

There seemed to be a common thread throughout the convention with many trophy hunters justifying their actions based on what they claim to be conservation, saying that if there wasn’t a value or price put on these animals, then there would be no incentive to protect them in the wild. But aren’t they killing them in the wild? That’s not protecting them.

We see it much differently. Per a 2013 report by the World Tourism Organization, the money that Trophy Hunting brings into many of these struggling countries is minimal. Wildlife-eco-tourism generated an average of 34.2 billion in tourist spending in 2013. As per the report, in Zimbabwe, tourism accounted for 6.4% of the gross domestic product of the country, dwarfing the meager 0.2% that trophy hunters brought in overall from paying for everything from the permits to hunt the wild animals of their choice, to accommodations, to paying sometimes a big price tag for a hunt at a private game reserve.

Happy #givingtuesday

As Peace 4 Animals looks forward to a new year of making a difference in the lives of animals in need, endangered, or at risk, we continue to promote the many benefits inherent to a plant-based lifestyle. It’s also a special time to reflect on and share some of the significant contributions our non-profit organization has made during 2017. Thanks in large part to our compassionate and generous donors and partners.

We could not accomplish all that we do without the continued support from people like you!

Peace 4 Animals is so honored to announce that we are stepping into 2018 as a proud partner of the always-inspiring Dr. Jane Goodall and the Jane Goodall Institute. This collaboration is going to make big waves in the ever-growing plant-based community beginning in 2018.

Two new billboards calling for the end of the horrific Dog Meat Festival in Yulin, China are now dominating space on Sunset Boulevard in the heart of Los Angeles.

The billboards went up last night to coincide with the conclusion of this year’s Yulin Dog Meat Festival, because action and awareness must continue in order to prevent the festival from taking place again next year.

Created and sponsored by Katie Cleary’s leading non-profit animal welfare organization Peace 4 Animals and her World Animal News (WAN) network, the compelling, eye-catching signs carry monumental messages which are especially relevant during this time.

Looming over LA’s traffic are the impactful words and images that raise awareness for two of the many issues Cleary and her team relentlessly tackle every day, animal welfare and veganism; whether it be by raising funds and granting donations to help animals in need, breaking and covering animal news and issues that must be brought to the forefront, or sponsoring the first ever vegan themed racecar at Daytona and Talladega this year.

“The time is now to end this sickening so-called ‘tradition’ of the Yulin Dog and Cat Meat Festival in China,” said Cleary who together with her non-profit and news network promotes the incredible work of Marc Ching of Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation who is currently on the ground in China rescuing and saving dogs and cats who would have otherwise been killed for their meat. “In addition to supporting the fight against Yulin, we wanted to sponsor these important billboards as part of a necessary and ongoing awareness campaign. The world has spoken, now it’s time to end the dog and cat meat trade.”

Cleary founded Peace 4 Animals in 2012 based on her inspired vision for a world where all animals live in peace and are protected against harmful human interference. Peace 4 Animals provides awareness and campaigns promoting co-existence with wild and endangered species, as well as ways to protect these animals in their natural habitat. Peace 4 Animals also works tirelessly with domestic animals and educating the public about the importance of rescuing animals from local shelters, rather than buying them from breeders or pet stores. In addition, the multi-faceted non-profit raises awareness to the horrific practices of factory farming and promotes a plant-based diet and lifestyle.

Hailed as the CNN for Animal Welfare, World Animal News (WAN) highlights the latest breaking animal news from around the world with guests ranging from top animal welfare organizations, animal experts, and celebrities who are passionate about raising awareness about the most crucial animal issues worldwide. WAN not only shares the news with its gripping stories, it shares solutions of how people can get involved and make a real difference!

Cleary is also the creator and executive producer of the 2015 Award-Winning Documentary “Give Me Shelter” which aired on Netflix and is scheduled to air later this year on another major TV network.

Please support the amazing work of our friend Marc Ching and his heroic efforts to stop the dog and cat meat trade by donating to Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation Here!

Peace 4 Animals & World Animal News is thrilled to be supporting and partnering with Damien Mander’s Incredible Organization International Anti-Poaching Foundation to save the last of our Rhinos and Elephants from extinction in the wild in Africa.

We are truly at a crossroads, one that we have never been at in the history of our planet, and have about 5-10 years left before we could lose these precious species off the face of our earth forever. I know that I won’t let that happen and Damien won’t either!

The time is NOW to fight against corruption, money & greed, to do the right thing for generations to come and the future of our planet!

Thank you Damien and your incredible team of fearless rangers who give up their lives to fight boots on the ground on behalf of the protection of our earth’s most endangered species! What a selfless, rewarding job it is that must be done before Rhinos & Elephants are just read about in story books!

You & your team are the true heroes of our time! God Bless your journey! We are with you every step of the way!

Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage In South Africa Attacked By Poachers, Is Now Protected!

WAN recently shared a heartbreaking message from Allison Thomson of Outraged South African Citizens Against Poaching (OSCAP) that the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, was attacked by poachers, tragically leaving several rhinos dead, care-givers severely beaten, and one young woman sexually assaulted.

An Indiegogo fundraising campaign was launched by an orphanage volunteer, Megan Richards, with a goal of reaching $55,000 USD, which would enable them to keep the remaining baby rhinos safe for one year.

WAN and Peace 4 Animals donated the final amount that the campaign needed to reach the orphanage’s goal of 55k. The baby rhinos are now safe for the year!

Peace 4 Animals Sponsors Animal Aid USA’s Cat Rescue In Georgia

The grand opening of the center was a huge success and brought roughly 500 dogs and cats who had been rescued from across the country, with the help of 150 volunteers, 25 transport vehicles and 15 airplanes, which flew them to the sanctuary!

The New Documentary “The Last Pig”

After learning about the documentary “The Last Pig” which follows the life of a pig farmer who grapples with death, searches for compassion, and finally finds the courage to change, we were inspired to help.

Nellie The Rhino Has Been Rescued!

Nellie’s rough patch began after she was shot twice by poachers in 2016. Miraculously she survived, and while being treated for her wounds, she was found to be pregnant. Nellie was soon sold by her owner who no longer wanted to keep rhinos on his farm after fearing more poaching attacks. She was moved to a new farm, but sadly had not taken well to her new environment; so much so that she had developed a deep depression, possibly PTSD, which was causing stomach ulcers.
